Abstract

Elektroničke knjige postoje već duže od 50 godina, a prisutne su i u Hrvatskoj. U prošlosti je poslovalo nekoliko hrvatskih trgovina e-knjigama, ali danas su aktivnije mrežne stranice s besplatnim e-knjigama i knjižnice koje nude posudbu takvih knjiga.

Svrha ovog rada predstaviti je prošlost i sadašnjost elektroničke knjige s naglaskom na njezinu prisutnost i položaj u hrvatskim knjižnicama. U prvom dijelu rada govori se o povijesti i razvoju elektroničke knjige u Hrvatskoj, ali i izvan nje. Drugi dio rada sastoji se od dva istraživanja. Prvo istraživanje bavi se čitalačkim navikama studenata te njihovom stavu prema e-knjigama i njihovoj posudbi u knjižnicama. Iz istraživanja može se zaključiti kako su studenti upoznati s mogućnošću posudbe e-knjiga, ali vrlo mali broj koristi te usluge. U drugom istraživanju proučavana su mrežna mjesta narodnih knjižnica trideset najvećih hrvatskih gradova u svrhu utvrđivanja nude li posudbu e-knjiga te na koji način promiču tu uslugu. Istraživanje je pokazalo kako je takva usluga prisutna u velikom broju knjižnica i kako je većina proučavanih knjižnica ističe na svojim mrežnim stranicama. Ipak, nezanemariv broj knjižnica u istraživanju tu uslugu slabije ili uopće ne ističe.

Abstract (english)

Electronic books exist more than 50 years already and they are also present in Croatia. In the past, several Croatian e-book stores were in business, but today websites offering free e-books and libraries offering e-book lending are more prominent.

The purpose of this thesis is presenting the past and present of electronic books with a focus on their presence and standing in Croatian libraries. In the first part of the thesis, the history and development of e-books in both in and outside Croatia is presented. The second part of the paper contains two research segments. The first segment is concerned with students' reading habits, their stance on e-books and the lending of e-books in libraries. From the results, it is possible to conclude that students are generally familiar with e-book lending services, but only a small number of them use those services. In the second research segment, the websites of public libraries from thirty of the biggest cities in Croatia are analyzed in order to determine if they offer e-book lending services and how they advertise those services. The results have shown that a large number of the analyzed libraries offer e-book lending services. Most of the libraries highlight those services on their websites prominently, but a significant number of them don't highlight them enough or at all.
